What this site is, and is not

It is a shortlist. Somebody chose the products on it and kept the list short. There is no score out of five here, no testing claim and no verdict, because none of those would be true — and a review process described in public that does not exist is a deceptive endorsement, not a marketing flourish.

It also does not show retailer star ratings or review counts anywhere. That data is licensed, and more importantly it answers a different question: a crowd can tell you whether a product arrived on time, not whether it will still be in use next year.

What you get instead is Amazon’s own description of its own product, with the moment it was fetched printed beside it, and a link that goes through this site’s own address so every outbound click is disclosed and counted here rather than guessed at. Prices and availability may vary. Whatever Amazon shows you when you arrive is the price; the figure here is only the last one Amazon reported.

How the site earns

Affiliate commission, and nothing else. When you follow a link from here to Amazon and buy something, the site may be paid a small percentage of the sale. Your price is exactly the same either way. As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.

There are no sponsored posts, no paid placements, no gifted products and no brand partnerships on this site. If any of that ever changes, it will be labelled on the page it affects before you read a word of it. The full affiliate disclosure sets out the details.

The editorial independence promise

These four commitments are the whole basis on which this site asks to be believed.

• Nothing is sponsored, gifted or paid for. No press samples, no paid placements, no exceptions.
• Nothing here claims to have been tested. There is no score and no verdict, because there is no test behind one.
• No brand gets a preview, a veto or a correction window. Factual errors are fixed for readers, not for brands.
• Every price is Amazon’s, dated. No figure on this site is one somebody typed in and hoped was still right — and none is presented as one Amazon is bound to honour.
• This site is an Amazon Associate, and says so.It is not endorsed by, affiliated with or speaking for Amazon beyond that, and it does not repeat Amazon’s customer reviews, star ratings or best-seller data.

What you will never find here

• Countdowns and invented urgency.No timers, no “only two left”, no “price rising soon”. We do not have that data, and making it up would be a straightforward deception.
• Best-seller and trending claims.This site has no sales data and does not repeat Amazon’s. A product is here because somebody put it on the list, which is the only claim it makes.
• Health and medical claims. A page here will tell you what a product includes and who it was built for. It will not tell you that anything treats, prevents or cures a condition, whatever the packaging says.
• Manufacturer numbers as promises. A rated capacity, battery life or output figure is a laboratory measurement taken under conditions almost nobody matches. Where those numbers appear, they appear as exactly that.
• Specifications nobody checked. A figure goes on a page because it was read off the product or its documentation, or it is left off. Guessing at a spec is how a reader ends up with something that does not fit.
• Testimonials from people who do not exist. There are no reader quotes, no five-star pull-quotes and no invented panels anywhere on this site.

Corrections

If something here is wrong, it gets fixed and the page says it was updated. If a product is revised and its specification goes stale, tell me and it will be rechecked against the current version. Corrections are not a favour to a brand; they are the point.
